Holding Steady

I got to see m'sweet little string bean today! Mom and baby (and Daddy too) are doing pretty well. Nolan is off the respirator already, which is big news in itself.



That, right there, is three pounds and nine ounces of baby. My other brother laughed and said he'd had a burrito about that size for lunch yesterday. We decided we might dress him up as one for Halloween. I guess we'll need to check with his mommy on that first...
I got to spend a good amount of time sitting with Mindy and knitting on a teeny little baby hat this afternoon. I had a sweater almost finished for him and had been worried it would be too small...little did I know that I'd have to knit some extra-tiny stuff instead. Ah, well. Some of us are just in a hurry.

He looks so sweet. What a beautiful little fellow. If I could send him sweet kisses I would.

Oh, I want to see him - Kenny said put a coke can beside him so we can see the size - I told him I didn't think the hospital OR Mindy would allow that!!! We are so grateful - I wish I could knit teeny baby things!

Thanks Mary :)
Nana - I'll knit plenty of teeny baby things for the both of us :) We can't wait for you to see him too! Joe has a couple of pictures on his iPhone that give a better size reference - one has his hand next to Nolan's head. When I get the pics, I'll post 'em. Promise!
